Our Plan
SUPPORT THE MISSION
Preserving History
DMCC works to preserve Macedonia Cemetery, reconnect ancestors to their descendants, and build a living memorial emblematic of the original church. Donations and community support directly assist preservation efforts, genealogy research, educational programming, and the future gazebo museum project.
IDENTIFY and RECOGNIZE
Promoting Awareness
DMCC is leading efforts to document, honor, and identify the 177 additional unknown burials discovered through ground penetrating radar, at the same time, acknowledging and researching the 60+ known burial sites. Visitors can learn about the lives, legacy, and descendants connected to these forgotten souls while helping ensure their stories are never erased from history.
Living Museum of Memory
The Gazebo Project: A permanent outdoor structure honoring the lives and legacies of those buried on these sacred grounds. The gazebo will stand as an emblematic tribute to the original Macedonia Church—symbolizing faith, perseverance, and the enduring legacy of those buried there.” The QR codes on the pews will unlock a digital archive of oral histories, genealogical records, and timelines—bridging descendants, students, and the public to their shared heritage.
“Each pew holds a story. Each scan restores a name.”
